You don't always have to have the lowest price on ebay to make sales.

3-pack of limited edition spam.

Many other listings for $30 + free shipping.

I'm selling them for $40 + $12 S&H and having regular sales.

Why do you think that is?

Probably because you keep your porch light on at night?

Because you are in Hawaii which always sounds better than Kansas or Wyoming or Delaware.  You have over 4000 feedback with 100% positive so buyers feel confident buying from you.  And because you are such a nice guy.

Because people with bad taste buds love Spam?

They can't know that he's nice until they do business with him. But Hawaii does have its appeal.

Maybe I'll start pretending I'm in Hawaii. Or Tahiti?

I wish ebay would plaster this title on multiple pages all over the site.

Right place at the right time. Randomness is a beautiful thing sometimes. I'd like to also point out all of the grumbling threads we see here about someone complaining their prices are much lower than their competitors, yet they don't make any sales. It's nice to hear and acknowledge these types of posts. There's two sides to every coin.

Ebay's search results doesn't always show buyers all the results.

I have found right after making a purchase they show me cheaper ones.

1) buyers may not be good at finding the best deal on eBay

2) buyers may use filters or keywords in search that eliminate the best deals from consideration

3) buyers may be biased against a seller (name, location, feedback score, etc.)

4) buyers may be biased against a listing (spelling, terms, pictures, return policy, etc.)

5) buyers may be attracted by your sense of humor

You have a great photo and probably built up a great spot in the search rankings before the prices on the item started falling, thus you kept getting the sales even as others were cheaper.
